Hebbia

Hebbia makes an AI platform used by asset managers, investment banks, law firms, and corporate strategy teams to run research and due diligence across private documents, public filings, and market data. The company was founded in 2020 by George Sivulka and is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Peter Thiel, and Index Ventures. Until now, that intelligence has lived primarily inside Hebbia's own interface, through products like Matrix and Max. Headless Hebbia unbundles that stack. The launch introduces an API and an MCP server that let customer engineering teams pipe a firm's indexed knowledge, private files, filings, and structured financial data, into whatever surface their analysts and bankers already work in, whether that's an internal tool, a bespoke application, or a general purpose AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT. The pitch is that firms no longer have to choose between Hebbia's reasoning stack and the chat environments their teams default to. The timing tracks with where enterprise AI is heading. As MCP becomes the default way to connect models to proprietary data, Hebbia is positioning its retrieval and multi-step reasoning layer as infrastructure that other agents call into, rather than a destination product. For founders and operators building in regulated verticals, it's a useful datapoint on how a vertical AI company extends its moat once customers start standardizing on agent frameworks they didn't build themselves.
